Over the years. however. the outside world obtained bits of information suggesting that the Chinese Communist regime suppresses Tibetan culture and religion. On June 23. the New York Times printed an essay by John F. Avedon on the current situation in Tibet. revealing the possibility that Tibetans are suffering at the hands of the Chinese. New evidence from Tibetan refugees in India indicates that Tibetans may have been subject to forced labor. starvation. and imprisonment. The reports estimate that 1.2 million Tibetan deaths have resulted from these policies. The new evidence also suggests that there have been deliberate attempts to destroy Tibetan culture.
